Applicant awarded medical cannabis and emotional support dog expenses, but denied attendant care and physiotherapy.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, including attendant care benefits, physiotherapy, medical cannabis, an emotional support dog, and home modifications.
The Tribunal found that the applicant was not entitled to attendant care benefits, physiotherapy, or home modifications, as they were not reasonable and necessary based on the medical evidence.
However, the Tribunal found that the applicant was entitled to reimbursement for incurred medical cannabis expenses to manage her chronic pain syndrome, and to an emotional support dog to address her accident-related anxiety, as she had already attempted frontline treatments.
The Tribunal awarded interest on the overdue payments but declined to grant an award under s. 10 of O. Reg. 664, finding no unreasonable delay by the insurer.
Applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline; limited income replacement benefits and one psychological assessment awarded.
The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and sought statutory accident benefits.
The insurer denied certain benefits, arguing the applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found that the applicant sustained predominantly minor injuries and was not removed from the MIG due to a pre-existing psychological condition or post-accident psychological injuries.
The Tribunal awarded income replacement benefits for a limited period when the applicant was substantially unable to perform the essential tasks of his employment.
The Tribunal also approved one psychological assessment as reasonable and necessary, but denied other treatment plans.
